Pros

Colleagues are often as helpful and as knowledge as they can be. Pay is decent, if unremarkable (though incentives are difficult to reach). Hours give some flexibility.

Cons

Understaffed due to constant employee turnover which in turn leads to an extremely heavy workload and snowballs from there into a lack of training as well as nearly impossibly steep sales goals. Those that do stick around are often micromanaged to death and graded on what buzzwords you did or didn't say or what unneeded products you did or didn't try to push on customers. Long days (standard weekday shift is 9am to 7:30pm) sometimes without breaks as well as inconsistent schedule means that work life balance is skewed. Technology is outdated and often faulty, even after the recent overhaul of systems.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
